KVKK Personal Data Protection Notice

1. Data Controller & Our Core Approach

SheKnows ("Platform") is a closed women's solidarity application that protects user privacy at the highest level. Acting as Data Controller under KVKK, we process the information you entrust to us solely to fulfill the safety and matching purpose of the platform, and we never share it with any person, organization, advertiser, or other users.

2. Processed Personal Data and Purposes

Only the minimum information strictly necessary to provide a safe environment is processed:

• Account & Sign-In Info: Your email address via Google or Apple sign-in to verify account ownership and enable secure authentication.
• Real-Person (Liveness) Verification: A short selfie video reading poetry lines shown on screen during registration so only real women can join and fake accounts are blocked.
• Profile & Alias Info: Your chosen nickname, birth year, and city so you can use the platform without revealing your real name.
• Matching Signal Info: Basic traits, habit tags, and 4–6 split-photo signatures entered under your single active relationship record. These are never shown to anyone and are used solely to generate similarity signals.
• Anonymous Communication Records: Pseudonymous messages and consent records inside temporary chat rooms opened only after mutual approval.

3. Non-Transfer of Personal Data (Zero Sharing)

Our foundational rule is that your personal data is never transferred to anyone:

• Your data is never sold or transferred to advertising networks, data brokers, social media platforms, or commercial partners.
• The details and photos you enter are never disclosed or displayed to other users.
• Even platform administrators cannot access your private profile content, photos, or chat messages.

4. Method and Legal Basis of Collection

Your data is collected directly from you through our mobile application based on your explicit consent and membership agreement. Under Article 5 of KVKK, it is protected on the legal grounds of explicit consent, establishment and performance of the user agreement, and platform security.

5. Your Rights Under Article 11 of KVKK

Under Article 11 of KVKK, you have the right to apply to us at any time to:

• Learn whether your personal data is processed and request information about it,
• Learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used in accordance with that purpose,
• Confirm that your data is never transferred to third parties domestically or abroad,
• Request correction if any information is incomplete or inaccurate,
• Request the complete deletion or destruction of your personal data under Article 7 of KVKK.
